much points with Lieutenant Grey Wolf. I did put in for a transfer and if were her, I would kick me off the ship.”</span><br style="box-sizing: content-box; caret-color: rgb(33, 33, 33); font-family: Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">

“Like I said,” Arthur replied, “you can quit if you want, but that won’t do your career any favors, unless your considering leaving the fleet. And Lt. Grey Wolf is not easy to impress. You’re a good pilot, you just need time and experience. It won’t matter
what ship your on.”<br style="box-sizing: content-box; caret-color: rgb(33, 33, 33); font-family: Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">

previous assignments stinks. Not only are the dates off, there are more holes in it then a piece of Swiss Cheese.

The question and reason caught Arthur by surprise. “That sounds like an admin issue. I’m not sure how they got the information wrong since those files are created by the information you provided them. I don’t think Michael Weston would be the guy to ask to
help with a clerical problem. That’s more HR.”</span></div>
